Re: [MW:23267] Material listed on WPS different from PQR

Dear J.Gerald jayakumar,

The following statements are given in API-650.

Material specifications listed in Section 4 of this standard but not included in Table QW-422 of Section IX of the ASME Code shall be considered as P1 material with group numbers assigned as follows according to  the minimum tensile strength specified:

a)  less than 485 MPa (70 ksi)-Group 1; 
b) equal to or greater than 485 MPa (70 ksi) but less than 550 MPa (80 ksi)-Group 2; 
c)  equal to or greater than 550 MPa (80 ksi)-Group 3

According to above statements, our material i.e. S355J2 which has 470 MPa SMTS is P1 Group 1 material whereas API-516 Gr. 70 is group 2 material as per ASME Sec IX QW-422. therefore we need qualify a new PQR. Am i right?

S355 J2 is not listed in ASME Sec.IX and hence to be considered as unassigned material which requires separate PQR. 
Thanks & Regards

Check with Pnos, if same ,there will not be a problem

Previously the selected material for tanks construction was SA-516 Gr. 70 but to unavailability of selected material in the market, a comparison was made b/w chemical composition and mechanical properties of easily available material i.e. S355J2 and selected for construction instead of SA-516 Gr. 70. Now the question is that we have PQR for SA-516 Gr. 70 and the referenced WPS is listed with new material i.e. S355J2. can we use use these WPS and PQR?

Re: [MW:34105] SA266 GR4N 4 Cycle SPWHT

Hi,  You are correct, Minimum refers to the one cycle for which this part will expose until final work shop PWHT. hence mill test certificate shall include this.  Max. SPWHT, refers to additional cycles of heat treatment that are reserved for future repairs during equipment lifetime.  Again, these simulated no. Of cycles shall be specified in MTC.  The idea is we need to make sure that steel mechanical properties are not compromised upon exposure to multiple repairs (i e 4 cycles in your case).  One could say, if steel is subjected to 4 cycles and is ok, then it should by defacto be good for one cycle, yet, this is wrong assumption cause mechanical problems and microstructure of materials varies accordingly based on no. Of cycles for which material will expose. This is apparent in alloy steel and especially for impact test values as an example.  In your case, this forged CS with properties before PWHT can be understood to be " as forged" condition (i.e. Wit...

Heat tint (temper) colours on stainless steel surfaces heated in air // Heat tint

Introduction The colour formed when stainless steel is heated, either in a furnace application or in the heat affected zone of welds, is dependent on several factors that are related to the oxidation resistance of the steel. The heat tint or temper colour formed is caused by the progressive thickening of the surface oxide layer and so, as temperature is increased, the colours change.   Oxidation resistance of stainless steels However, there are several factors that affect the degree of colour change and so there is no a single table of colour and temperature that represents all cases. The colours formed can only be used as an indication of the temperature to which the steel has been heated. Factors affecting the heat tint colours formed Steel composition The chromium content is the most important single factor affecting oxidation resistance. The higher the chromium, the more heat resistant the steel and so the development of the heat tint colou...
